Tajvan

The highest point of the island reaches an altitude of 737 m. The island is covered with a mixed forest with a predominance of pines and birches. The island is known for the occurrence of waterfowl and rare aquatic fauna.^[1]

According to one interpretation, the island was named after a fisherman who was riding a fish on it. Because he had sloping eyes, he was nicknamed the Chinese, so people began to call the island according to the island of Taiwan.^[2]

According to another interpretation, cartographers planned to construct the Lipno Reservoir, because the expected nameless island on the shape maps remarkably resembled the shape of the island of Taiwan.^[3]
